conforms to the established theme of the project and overall resort.
4. The site design of the project including, but not limited to project entries,
interior circulation, landscaping, pedestrian access, pedestrian amenities,
screening of equipment, exterior lighting, layout, and similar site design
elements are compatible with the previously approved and constructed phases,
surrounding developments, and with the quality of design prevalent in the City.
5. Project landscaping, including but not limited to the arrangement, variety, size,
color, texture, and coverage of plant materials, with conditions, has been
designed so as to provide relief, complement buildings, visually emphasize
prominent design elements, screen undesirable views, provide a harmonious
transition between adjacent land uses including the golf course, and provide an
overall unifying influence to enhance the visual continuity of the project.
